Relatively simple to do (certainly simpler than the 6NR retro)
You'll need
lower dash cowl
cruise enabled slip ring (there are several different types, make sure you get the right one for your car)
lastly you'll need it coded, I used a chap from the South Coast who travelled to me as I gave him a full days work with all the retros I had him do.
According to my cost monitoring for the car, the cruise retro cost me a total of £138

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my post.
Based on all the research I have done there are specialists willing to do the cruise control retrofit, but they want to charge me north of a 1000£.
If you wouldn't mind could you please answer the following:
1. Did you source the parts yourself (did you buy them used or new)?
2. Did you do the installation of the parts (SZL/Slip ring ..etc) yourself?
3. Did you have active cruise control - with break function (SA544) or standard cruise control (SA540) coded.
4. Could you give me the name/contact of the guy who did the coding for you?
5. Did you have to take the instrument cluster into consideration when doing the retrofit. (Apparently there are 2 types that the X1s shipped with and its possible to retrofit on one but not the other)
6. Out of curiosity what else did you get retrofitted on yours?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Cheers!
